I don't know one yuppy who would set foot in that store. They call it a "redneck" store.LBTRS said:A yuppy sporting goods store. High prices and they don't carry anything worth having.

(I don't even know what those are, Elephant, Lion, ?,? and ?)
tgfang said:Big 5 stores are in AZ, NM and TX. I don't know where else. Their day-to-day prices are high; their sale prices are good. I'll have to try that "has it ever been on sale" approach. I have sen posts elsewhere stating that the SKS and Schmidt-Rubin rifles that they sell are in very good condition.

More like last years models at deep discounts. Certainly not the place to shop if you're looking for the greatest and latest, but a good place for decent pricing.

I used to get great deals on Milsurps at Big 5 before I got my C&R. When on sale, it's hard to beat their prices on "Plain Jane" versions of guns like Marlin 1894s, Mossy 500s, and Rem 870s.
Also when I was still buying milsurps from them, the clerks were nice and patient enough to keep pulling guns out of the back so I could "handpick" the one I wanted.
